Small, Dull, Ugly By Shopper (St. Louis Park, MN) - May 28, 2017 I should have red the reviews. They were correct. Extremely small. The dimensions included the steam. Dull Burnish red color - Dull script, barely visible. NOTHING like the picture. Extremely misleading.

Cute Bell By Shopper (Arlington, VA) - May 16, 2011 This is a cute bell for a teacher's desk, but it was a little smaller than I expected it to be.
|
Appropriate 2nd grade teachers' gift This was a life saver, and delivery was fast. I have a 2nd & 4th grader. Ever try to get a gift idea from a 2nd & 4th grader?
|
Time for School! I thought this was very cute and appropriate for my Daughter's Kindergarten Teacher. She would ring a bell to draw the students in for class in the morning. So I thought this was perfect! The shape of an apple and it's personalized! It's just a little smaller than expected.
|
Quite pleased A little small but very very cute.
|
Nice Gift! I bought this product for my son's teacher for Christmas. I envisioned it to be a little bigger. But other than that it is very nice. My son can't wait to give it to her. Plus, I got it in just a couple of days. Excellent service. Personalization Mall will defintely be receiving my business again.
|
Do not buy Very misleading and very disappointed. The quality is so poor and nothing like the picture. I was planning to give to my son's teacher but now I will have to find something else because it's that bad. It doesn't even have a nice bell sound. Basically just rattles. Such a joke. Save your money and do not buy this item.

New Teacher Purchase This is adorable, however it is rather small but will be so cute on our "new teachers" desk. The shipping was prompt and easy to track. Highly reccomend this company.
|
Cheap I personally thought these were extremely cheap.
|
Apple I liked the item, but just wish it was larger.
|
Very Small This is much smaller than i anticipated. The one time I didn't check the dimensions before purchase. Please note the size when ordering.
|
Very Nice, but very small We ordered this for my son's end of the year gift for his 2nd grade teacher. The gift was very nice, but a lot smaller than we expected. I didn't pay attention to the picture with the pencil behind it, that may have shown the size. But it is a great gift. His teacher loved it!
|
Getting Smaller - Each Year! I have ordered this bell for the last 2 years, 2008 (2) & 2009 (1). The first 2 that I ordered in '08 were much larger than the 1 in '09. Based on the reviews, I am almost afraid to order this again. it seems smaller than 2009. I love the idea of the apple bell for end of year presents for my little girl's teachers.
|
Pitiful!!! I cannot believe I paid over $30.00 for this tiny apple! It is so small! I am giving it as s gift and I am very embarrassed!! Not worth the money I spent on it at all!!!!

Major disappointment By Shopper (New Orleans , LA) - November 21, 2017 I wish the size of this product could be used as an analogy for my disappointment but it falls short! I am tremendously disappointed in the product and the amount of money I spent on it. I don’t think this product was in NO WAY worth what I spent on it! If I wanted something with my name on my desk that no one could’ve seen, this would be perfect! I wish for a full refund! I pray that this doesn’t make this the last time I purchase from this website!
|
The teacher Loved it... It was smaller than I thought it would be but the teacher Loved it and thats all that matters.
|
GREAT TEACHERS GIFT I ORDERED THIS BELL FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GIVE TO HER KINDERGARTEN TEACHER. IT WAS A LITTLE SMALL BUT WE STILL LOVED IT. IT WAS NICE AND HEAVY AND FELT OF GREAT QUALITY. HER TEACHER LOVED IT AND SENT A LOVELY THANK YOU NOTE TO TELL US HOW MUCH SHE LOVED THE BELL. THANKS FOR HAVING SUCH WONDERFUL GIFTS WE CAN BE PROUD TO GIVE.
|
Cute but kinda small When I received it I loved it. The engraving was great, it looks exactly as in the picture. The only thing is that I wish it was a little bigger, I didn't expect it to be as small as it was. Other than that though I really recommend this product. I bought it for my son's teacher since she uses a bell everday during centers. In addition the shipping was EXTREMELY fast!
|
Christmas present I bought this for my daughter's teacher for christmas. She couldn't wait to give it to her so she received it on Friday. She absolutely loved the bell. My daughter was asked by other teachers where she bought such a lovely item.

The not so "Big" apple By Shopper (Tampa, FL) - November 12, 2011 This apple may be a bit smaller than I expected but I think it will make the perfect gift for my son's teachers. I wanted to do something more personal this year and this bell struck me as being unique and nostaligic plus something they might actually use. While it is a bit small, the quality is very good. It's heavy for its size.
|
teacher gift By Shopper (Naperville, IL) - June 13, 2011 It's cute. It would be better if it's more bigger.
|
Underwhelmed I thought this was so cute when I viewed it online. However, it is very small, light and the "bell" part is so flimsy it barely makes a noise when I shake it. Of course, teachers need a bell that can be heard over the noise of many children! Additionally, the personalization words are very small and difficult to read. I do love the red and gold colors, but I'm a bit embarrassed to give to a teacher.
|
Teachers apple Thought apple was very small. It’s a gift for my daughter who just became a teacher. But I’m sure she’ll live it
|
Cute but small This teacher bell is very cute but smaller than I expected for the price. The personalization is nice but a little light. The bell is not very loud. Still a nice gift!

Get what you pay for By Shopper (Dallas, TX) - July 16, 2012 For $15, I didn't expect a whole lot. As others said, it's very small. There appear to be two pieces of metal that are welded together to make the bell, although you can't see the seam on the outside. The engraving seems to be etched in which is nice. The gold paint for the stem/leaf is a bit sloppy looking, but the red paint of the apple is nice and smooth. It does give off a rich bell sound when rung. It doesn't blow me out of the water, but for $15, it's fine.
|
Too small By Shopper (Moss Point, MS) - December 21, 2011 This was very cute but it was not at all what I expected it to be. It was very small, I have never seen an apple (edible) this small before.
|
ingraving By Shopper (Sacramento, CA) - December 24, 2011 ingraving was hardy visible. not as bright as on the picture... very dissapointed...
|
apple brass teacher bell By Shopper (Cranford, NJ) - June 29, 2012 I was extremely pleased with the packaging and quality of the item, but disappointed in the size of the bell. It was quite small. It should have been more realistic in size.
|
Bad engraving It was smaller than expected but more so the engraving/writing did not look anything on the picture. It was blurry. Didn't really think it was worth the money.
|
Acceptable Much nicer in catalogue photos--The gold portions of apple dull and discolored. Idea great, just wished the gold portions were shiny as shown.
|
Size disappointment By Shopper (Delaware, OH) - December 27, 2011 Service & quality of the products were the best. Delivery was very quick! The size of the apple was quite small....closer to a crabapple then a red delicious. I thought the visual scale reference to the book in your photo was somewhat misleading (small book?). I did see the dimensions listed but went more with the visual reference.
|
Not really red By Shopper (Green Brook, NJ) - December 26, 2011 I was disappointed in the color of the apple. In the picture it appears to be red as you would expect from an apple, but in reality it is a brownish maroon. If I had seen it in person before purchasing, I would not have gotten it. Sorry.
|
Apple was not as bright as it seemed on the photo. By Shopper (Stockton, CA) - December 14, 2011 I had hoped the apple was bright red like the one given to Snow White. The apple I got was a brownish red.
|
OK-But Small In the picture, this apple looks like it will be more substantial than it actually is. I think it is beautiful. But it is small enough to get lost on a desk. I bought one for a teacher friend of mine. Because of its size, I also am concerned it could be easily knocked off a desk. So bottom line, I like it, I don't love it.
|
too small By Shopper (Medford, MA) - December 18, 2012 ITs cute but not as big as I thought. And you barely see the engraving.
|
Small The picture was deceiving regarding the size and the color was much less vibrant. I was expecting something maybe a bit smaller than a softball. It was smaller than a baseball. The color was more like a brownish candied apple. Those not seeing the picture thought it was adorable, and I agree, it was cute, just not what I expected.
|
Deceiving Apple to the Eye! By Shopper (Whitestone, NY) - March 23, 2013 This product looks great in the picture. It seems so much larger and very inviting to purchase. However once the item arrived in the mail, it was not what I expected. The big apple turns out to be the size of a walnut.
|
Very Cute, Not Great Quality I saw this and thought it was SUPER cute for a 1st Grade Teacher Gift. When I got it, the paint seemed a little chintzy and it was missing the gong part of the bell. Customer Service sent another one out right away, but still. Made me glad I ordered it early. Otherwise I like it a lot and I don't see any of the other kids duplicating our gift, which is important to me.
|
little smaller than i expected It is a nice item,however I thought it would have been a little bit bigger.
